QUITTER: The Cost of Commitment
QUITTER is a revolutionary dual-wrist wearable system that transforms the fragile resolve to quit smoking into a binding physical and financial commitment. Leveraging the behavioral economics principle of "Loss Aversion," the system locks a significant user deposit into a customized 30-to-60 day contract. To ensure absolute compliance, QUITTER employs tamper-proof dual-factor cross-referencing—combining a 6-axis IMU to detect specific smoking kinematics with a medical-grade PPG sensor to validate nicotine-induced heart rate spikes. Any relapse results in an immediate deduction, making failure an unaffordable option. Crucially, all forfeited funds are automatically donated to tobacco-cessation non-profits. QUITTER elevates personal cessation from an isolated struggle into a scalable public health solution, turning the cost of addiction into funding for a smoke-free world.
